In Case You Missed It...

Somebody got gory--and funny--over at Greenwillow in honor of April Fool's Day with "Under the Gruesome Willow." Thanks to teenareena of sounis for the link! I think my favorite is the transformed version of Vera Williams' book, More More More, Said the Baby.

If you start looking at other publishers' backlists, the possibilities are endless, not to mention gruesome and rotting and freakishly drippy... Of course, they couldn't possibly be mocking the overabundance of children's/YA horror and paranormal titles in bookstores all over the country these days, could they?

ABOUT ME

I am madly in love with children's books and want to get great books into the hands of kids who will love them, too. Books are like magnifying glasses, intensifying the wonders of people and their imaginations and everything in the world from spiders to shoelaces. Books are a unique sort of conversation. I write them, too, mostly MG fantasy, but sometimes poetry and picture books. Thank you, Johanes Gutenberg!
